About the Property

THE ULTIMATE BEACH HOUSE

Casa Amarilla is located only 14 kilometers north of Mahahual (Costa Maya) on a large, private and beautifully maintained property. It is a true beach house literally just steps from the Caribbean Sea. This vacationer's dream offers 20 feet of a continuous sliding glass opening onto the huge screened-in veranda overlooking the ocean. An open concept design, it offers tropical views and constant sea breezes.

This location provides the peace and tranquility of being secluded while being only 20 minutes from shopping and restaurants in town. There are two private bedrooms, one with 2 queen beds and the other with a queen and a single bed. There are also 2 fold-down futons in the main gathering room and another in a semi-private private nook vestibule. Two full baths make this villa easily workable for two families. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you will need to prepare your own meals, and there is also a gas grill available. The large great room offers an inspiring view of the Caribbean Sea. The ocean side of the villa is a covered and screened patio area that opens into the great room via an entire wall of sliding glass doors. A hammock awaits you for your afternoon siesta in the cool ocean breeze.

We also have wireless internet as well as XM/Sirius Radio. The villa offers a TV with a limited DVD library.

This is an eco-friendly home that uses solar panels as the primary electrical source. All areas have ceiling fans that, combined with the ever-present sea breezes, make for what most consider a nearly perfect tropical environment. For those who insist on A/C, this property does have a back-up diesel generator that can run A/C at an extra cost. Smoking is not allowed in the house.

Casa Amarilla is maintained by a full time, on-site staff. They speak English, have lived in the area for nine years, and can help you with information about tourist activities available in the area, local restaurants, shopping, etc. Fresh fish and lobster (in season) is available from the local fishermen if you'd like, something else our staff offers as a service to you.

Location

The beach at Casa Amarilla is beautiful white sand and wonderful for swimming.

For the fly fishing enthusiast, there is nearby access to a fresh water lagoon (you can see this in our pictures) behind the property. This villa has two sea kayaks and boogie boards available for your use. Casa Amarilla also has a beach volleyball court for your enjoyment.

Once you arrive on site, you will be provided with information such as local restaurants, local fishing excursions, archaeological sites, and other tourist attractions in the area.

Manager info

Year Purchased: 2007

About: Jerry's dream had always been to have a place on the sea. Born and raised on a lake in northern Wisconsin and an avid diver, spear fisherman, fly fisherman and all things 'water', this was the perfect spot. You can only imagine his delight when he happened on a property that had a perfect beach leading on to a perfect reef on the sea side, and a lake with world class fly fishing out the back.
A design/builder of recreational homes by profession, Jerry set about creating the ultimate beach house. Nothing lives better and brings the sea and water into the living environment like this house.

Why El Placer, Q.R., Mexico: Jerry and Lynn have 5 children and 5 grandchildren. They were delighted to find a spot that could offer the ultimate fishing and diving adventure, but still be a safe, beautiful and convenient swimming spot even for children and beginning snorkelers. Its convenient proximity to town while being a large and private parcel was even more of a draw.

The Unique Benefits at this Villa: If you want to be down here for the water and the beach, there's simply nothing that compares to this place. The view from the great room makes you feel as if you are on a boat.
